The dates for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days have finally been released, and - spoiler alert - they’re sooner than you’d think.

As Marie Claire UK’s Junior Shopping Editor, finding great deals on products I genuinely rate fills me with copious amounts of joy. So that’s why I’ve asked all the MC UK editors to chime in with their top Amazon picks in preparation for the big sale event. Oh, and if you’re due a beauty product refresh, I’ve rounded up the best early beauty deals for you to shop, too.

Conveniently placed over a month before the Black Friday deals take over the online shopping sphere, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event is a brilliant time to pick up some bargains on early Christmas gifts or simply stock up on essentials for the cosy season ahead (sunrise alarm clocks, silk pillowcases and autumnal trench coats, I’m looking at you). So, when is it?

When is Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2024?

This just in: Amazon Prime Big Deal Days takes place on Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th of October this year. Naturally, we’ll be rounding up the best beauty, fashion and wellness deals for you to shop: Editor-approved, so get ready for some mid-week savings.

What’s the difference between Amazon Prime Day and Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?

First introduced last year, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is Amazon’s biggest autumn sale event. I like to consider Amazon Prime Big Deal Days as Amazon’s October Prime Day - a slightly lesser known sale event, which nevertheless sees similar levels of discounts across the online marketplace.

Do you have to be a Prime member to shop Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?

Yes, you’ll have to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of the deals. Not a Prime member yet? Not to worry. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial ahead of Prime Big Deal Days.

What fashion, beauty and wellness deals will be included in Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?

While we don’t know exactly what will be included in the deals just yet, I’ve asked our editors for their favourite Amazon products to shop - some of which are already discounted. I’ll be updating this article with our Editors’ top Amazon deal picks as and when they’re released, so be sure to check back in for the most up-to-date prices.

In the meantime, keep scrolling to shop team MC’s favourite Amazon picks - pieces we’d happily buy at full price, but will be keeping an eye out for deals once the sale event drops - you know, just in case. Happy shopping.
